Question 1

What makes this pageant different from other systems?

Accepted Answer

USA World Pageants is revolutionizing the American pageant industry.  Instead of 1 system, 1 crown, with just 1 entry fee you can compete for multiple international pageant systems and represent the USA on a truly international stage in either Asia, Africa, or the Caribbean!
Remember how Ms. Venezuela used to send the winner to Universe, 1st-runnerup to World, 2nd Runner-up to International?  It’s a similar concept except no system ranks higher than the other.  If you score at the top of your division, you will be placed in the system where you will shine the brightest.
